Josh Allen Credits Hailee Steinfeld for His Stellar NFL Season

Josh Allen is on fire this NFL season, but the secret to his success isn’t extra workouts or practice—it’s love. The Buffalo Bills quarterback recently opened up about how his relationship with actress and singer Hailee Steinfeld has positively impacted his performance on the field.

In an interview with the Associated Press, Allen shared that Steinfeld has been a major source of inspiration and support. “She’s been a huge part,” Allen said. “The morale, the support. When I get home, she’s my biggest fan, my biggest supporter. She’s just the best.”

Even Allen’s teammates have noticed the difference. Dion Dawkins, one of Allen’s closest friends on the Bills, said that the quarterback seems more grounded and focused since deepening his relationship with Steinfeld. “When you’re in this world that we’re in, with a lot of ups and downs, having that one stable person to rely on is huge,” Dawkins said. “And I think that’s what’s going on with him.”

Allen and Steinfeld began dating in 2023, following Buffalo’s tough playoff loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. While they initially kept their relationship under wraps, the couple has recently gone more public, with Allen announcing their engagement to his 1.5 million Instagram followers just two weeks ago.

Since then, the quarterback’s stats have soared. Allen has racked up 37 total touchdowns this season, with just five interceptions, making him the current frontrunner for the NFL MVP award. With Buffalo looking like a strong contender for the Super Bowl, fans are crediting Steinfeld for helping Allen reach new heights.

For the Bills Mafia, it seems love is just the boost their star player needed.
